I reckon you're playing on way too hard a reed - this makes the low register very resistant and hissy, especially C, C#, Eb, E and the throat notes.

Try a 2.5 when you go to your music shop to see if this helps.

And don't feel pressured to use hard reeds because 'everyone else does' - we aren't sheep, we're individual human beings and we're all different. It's not a competition to see who can play on floorboards for reeds, and you're not doing yourself any good struggling with a reed that's too hard for you.
